There is an integrative center within each of us that guides us toward healing.  The situations, losses, illnesses, and difficulties that arise in our lives provide the impetus we need to grow into a fuller, more joyful life.  I find great meaning in the work of assisting others to follow this healing process."

Linda joined The Counseling Center in 2006 and brings a background in mental health, addictions, trauma, dual disorders, domestic violence, and stress management.  Her experience lies in working with individuals, couples, and groups.  She has worked with males and females of many cultural backgrounds.  With 25 years of study in the body/mind modalities, and certified as a yoga instructor, Linda takes a holistic approach to the therapeutic process, using traditional talk therapy and cognitive-behavioral techniques in combination with experiential modalities.

Linda offers hypnotherapy as an option to treat anxiety disorders, phobias, and stress; guided imagery to enhance inner dialogue; dreamwork to follow one’s inner process; and EMDR to re-process traumatic memories. Her goal is to assist clients to resolve life problems, deepen their understanding of themselves, and create a state of well-being through the balance of mind, body, and spirit.  Linda also facilitates trainings for counselors in stress reduction, compassion fatigue, and burnout for the Maryland Alcohol and Drug Abuse Administration.
